We are making many changes this new season – all aimed at saying THANK YOU to all of the artists, agencies and theaters that have supported us over the past seasons.  All of you who helped us to revolutionize the process of auditioning for theaters from all over the world.  Thanks to you, we have been able to help countless singers find good contracts with theaters without the customary enormous expenses that used to be the only option!

So, HERE’S TO YOU!!!!!

These are the major changes for our new season:

1. There is only ONE PRICE: $300.
   Everyone pays the exact same price and everyone pays. Period. This is a discount of over $100 from last year’s fee and offered as a THANK YOU for these past TEN SEASONS.  This is the amount we charged for the VERY FIRST sessions of auditions held back in the 2002-2003 season.  In gratitude for your support, we are rolling the fees back this entire season to our fees from ten years ago.
2. Yes, Feedback.
   Real Feedback! Not numbers, not averages, not Like or Dislike!  Every singer that participates in the NYIOP Preview Audition will receive at least TWO one-line sentences (à la Twitter) of real and immediate feedback from two people chosen randomly across the panel of listeners.  Those singing in the Final Auditions will receive the same one line of feedback from EACH panel member attending the audition.  The panelists will have the option to choose to remain anonymous BUT you will hear their thoughts in THEIR words!
3. Home Sweet Home – and you can hear yourself better, too!
   We return to our home at DiCapo Opera WITH a revolutionary new stage monitoring system!Two seasons ago we moved from DiCapo Opera Theater and we have missed it ever since – we have finally found the way to move “home” while still providing you artists with the best possible experience!  NYIOP will be the FIRST EVER to use the new stage monitoring system at DiCapo Opera Theater for improved comfort while singing on the stage! Every theater we hosted during our years at DiCapo preferred the acoustics there to any other venue we have had.  Now we give the same comfort to the artists for a perfect combination!ADDITIONALLY, because of this monitoring system, we are working out the details to let you also have the option to have a live recording of your NYIOP Audition!  In concept, we will make it possible to get either (or both) an audio recording and a video recording.  This service will be offered at an additional fee to the audition – but imagine having an instant tool to review your audition!  More details as soon as we finalize the process!
4. Full Contact Followup.
   Complete information will be provided at the audition or via email just afterEach singer taking part in the Final Auditions will receive a sheet a the audition that lists the name of the theater, the name of the representative as well as the email address the theater supplies us for requesting information and feedback from your audition.  Those taking
   part in the NYIOP Preview Audition will receive this information via email within two days of the end of the final auditions for each session.
5. Full Access Pass to all the REAL answers you won’t get anywhere else!!!!
   For each session, we will offer a free NYIOP Forum on the day before – masterclasses, Q&A panel, etc etc  Beginning on December 11, we will offer a three-hour NYIOP Forum on the day before the auditions begin where we will invite a panel of industry professionals (agents, casting directors, teachers, coaches, critics etc) to attend and answer any and all the questions you have.  In addition, when you arrive, come prepared to sing!  Three artists will be randomly chosen from those who attend and notify us they wish to sing to take part in a masterclass given by one or more of the panel attending the Forum meeting!  And if that was not enough - ONE person will be chosen to receive  a completely FREE NYIOP Audition on the following days.We are offering this at NO ADDITIONAL COST to any artist – this is our gift to you.  To succeed in any business, you need the information that helps you better focus your efforts.  As an additional thank you to our artists, we want to empower you with the real-world information that will help you better manage your career.  And there might even be Pie and Punch!!!

These are the major changes for the beginning of our new decade!
